The Schneider-Electric Sustainability and Business Strategy Chair Award at IESE Business School will recognize the most outstanding article of the year in terms of relevance to management practice published in Organization and Environment  in 2014. This award is intended to encourage papers relevant to the praxis of environmental management by clearly addressing research questions pertinent to the translation of theory to executives and managers. In addition this criterion, the paper should exhibit soundness of the conceptual development, originality and new contribution(s), and appropriate methodology well applied. The winner will receive an award plaque and a 250 Euros cash award from the Chair.
